Hello,I'm trying to write an OBJ file with groups. Is it possible to do that? I tried creating an attribute obj_group and then use GeometryPropertySetter with Traits from Attributes. I also tried to Aggregate objects into groups but nothing works so far...I've enclosed and example.Thanks, Stéphane

Hi all,  For the moment I'm looking into the functionalities of FME 2012 for postgis 2.0 Mainly I'm searching for what is already supported and what not. I noticed that some new functionalities are coming in the 2013 release. But as also mentioned before by other users (eg. http://tinyurl.com/cwzw438) there is little documentation about PostGIS in FME.  Is there someweher a clear overview of what functionalities are already supported or supported in which FME version? Besides that I agree on what is mentioned in the other topic:  "So what we need - I think - is  fme writer parameters questioning for the used postgreSQL-version and for the relevant configuration parameters and/or regulating the way FME escapes characters.  What we also need is an thorough documentation of the postgis writer and/or more information in fmepedia regarding postgis.  I have always been wondering why - though so many people use postgis - there is so little information on FME and postgis"  Re

All,  I'm attempting to issue a WHERE clause on reading an Excel file... but the source worksheet has column names that include spaces. So I can get this to work:  Test_me = 'Dave'  but this doesn't:  Test me = 'Dave'  and it returns a provider error:  Provider error `(-2147217900) Syntax error in GROUP BY clause.  I'm assuming its the space that is causing the issue, does anyone know of a work around, short of ensuring the source data has underscores instead?  Thanks

m trying to generate 3D tiles form shp file. Just simple shp reader directly to Cesium 3D tiles writer. It does generate files, but after uploading them to Cesium Ion it does not work. It cant even generate preview of it.Am I missing some step in FME?Coordinate setting: reader - read from source

@takashi Hi! I'm new to FME, I'll need some help to export my data in ACAD format. My input file is also in AutoCAD format.The problem I'm having is that there is no output file. Actually I want it in the same format and layer style. Thank you in advance.

Hi all,In the "AzureBlobStorageConnector" documentation ( http://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.0/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/azureblobstorageconnector.htm ) is written that:  "The FeatureReader can access Azure Blob Storage directly, without using the AzureBlobStorageConnector. In this case, a permanent local copy of the dataset will not be created".  Since I do not need a local copy of the file, I tried to use the "FeatureReader" to access the Azure blob storage, but I am not sure which reader format I should choose.  Could someone help about this topic, please?  Thanks a lot

I'd like to convert 3ds file to CityGML LOD2 (CityGML version is 2.0). Actually I want to classify roof and outer-wall. I already found similar question in the Community as below as https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/22115/how-to-convert-3ds-file-to-citygml.html But the shared workspace doesn't work. If possible please share workspace .

Hello, I'm using FME Desktop to convert 3D files to Cesium 3D Tiles, and have published the workflows to FME Server. I read the FME Server REST API, and it seems like operating the FME Server functionality, so my question is: Is FME Server provide any web service or api for Cesium client to present 3D data just like Cesium ion?

Hi, im using FME in an oracle database copying data from one table to anotherI am trying to put a published parameter on a "WHERE clause..". If i write the whole query, everything is OK:"DE" in (SELECT CZ FROM REF_CZ WHERE MONO = 'BORË')':but,If i put a part of it as a published parameter i get this error:Query: "DE" in (SELECT CZ FROM REF_CZ WHERE MONO = '$(P1)')Field type is a string.Error is : ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated'.

Hi @MattAtSafeI want to clip a 3D model with textures in FME. My modell has the following spesifications:.obj format with texturesno coordinate systemIf I use a clipper in FME, it doesn't accept the IFMEMesh. Can you give me some recommendations on how to clip the modell and keep the textures? Thanks!Cecilia

Here's a fun problem! And, as always, any hints or ideas are welcome!I have 3D-point-data with resistivity values and I would like to generate a 3D vector profile with resistivity "areas" like the one below (but as vector data) - if at all this is possible with FME? And just the areas/3D-polygons would suffice. I'm mainly interested in getting the same information content than an exact replica. It doesn't matter if the information is made up of faces, meshes or solids as long as I can get circa the image below in 3D representations in say Autocad.I attach a template file with the data so if you feel like doing some testing you should be up and running directly.Like I said, any ideas or hints are welcome!Peter

I am very new to use this tool and thought some of expert from this forum might help meI have oracle11 database and migrated to MS SQL server 2014I would like to compare data between oracle11->database1->table1 with mssqlserver2014->database1->table1I would like to compare data between each table with cross databasesPlease, let me know steps to do this

I would like to write several sheets into an excel file: on every single sheet there should be data and a chart based on one of the columns. I have tryed it using a template file which already has a chart on the template sheet. I am already using a template file and a template sheet.On the output file i just get data on every single sheet which is perfect, but only get a chart on the first sheet. The chart is based in one of the columns.Any clue on how to get an automatic chart per sheet? 

Hi  I want to visualize in 3D NDVI values (single band .tiff raster) in combination with RGB .las point cloud. What would be the best apporach? Cheers

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out? I'm writing tabular data to a SQLite database and I'd like to run the VACUUM command after it's been written. I thought it might exist in the SQLITE3 writer parameters but no luck. I'm using FME 2019 desktop

I am trying to read metadata from feature classes in an SDE but am consistently getting an error. I add a reader (format "Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb)", point it at one table (interactively selected in the Table List field), set the Feature Read Mode to "Metadata", and then click Ok, and then comes the error (The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216072'. The error message from ArcObjects is: {Underlying DBMS error}). My overall goal is to read a feature class's metadata, update it to show when the feature class was updated, and then write the new metadata to the feature class. I am able to create and update tables in this SDE using FME so I don't think it's a permissions issue. I've tried various settings in the reader but cannot get past that error. Has anybody ever encountered this? The full log file:Starting translation... FME 2018.1.0.1 (20180730 - Build 18528 - WIN32) FME Desktop ESRI Editi

I get datas from a csv file that contains a latitude and longitude field. These geographical data must be reprojected with different local systems. What should I do to build a postgis table with the correct coordinates (after reprojecting the given lat and lon in the correct geodetic system) for each point that I get ? Should I split in many different tables ?

I want to create many number of 3d model with different position. I am having one 3ds model file and an excel(.xlsx) file which has location data(latitude, longitude) to create many number of 3d model. Using Cloner transformer, I cloned required number of 3d model. But I don't know, how to set the location(longitude, latitude) for the cloned 3d models from the excel file?. Can anyone help me out?.Here I attached 3d model and it's position excel file.

I have a number of workspaces pulled together into a .bat file that runs on a schedule every night. Recently, a few of the workspaces fail to run but if I open the workspace in Desktop and run it is fine. The workpaces are pulling data from AGOL and often get an error "ArcGIS Online Feature Service Reader: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '503' and the message was: 'An error occurred.'. Details: ''" and nothing further. The issue may well be with AGOL but it feels a little inconsistent when the individually ran workspaces seem to be fine.Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what suitable steps did you take to resolve?

Hi, i'm trying to define and write IfcShapeRepresentation properties (attributes) like the RepresentationType and RepresentationIdentifier for geometries (2D points) in IfcBuildingElementProxy (class) , but unfortunately without success.So how to define and write a 2d point in IfcBuildingElementProxy classe? According the IFC definitioin (link below) i have to define the RepresentationType as "GeometricSet" and the RepresentationIdentifier as "FootPrint" for defining a 2D pointhttps://standards.buildingsmart.org/IFC/RELEASE/IFC2x3/FINAL/HTML/ifcproductextension/lexical/ifcbuildingelementproxy.htm By following your "AutoCAD to IFC Conversion Example" Tutorial i have to set the geometry name to "FootPrint" (what defines the RepresentationIdentifier) with the GeometryPropertySetter-Transformer.

 Hi Folks, I’m trying to download images from Google Drive and convert these images to point and add the photos as attachment to the extracted points.I’ve created the relationship class in ArcCatalog and I could have the points and the attachment table when I disabled the Relationship writer. But when I enable it I got the following error “ERROR |Failed to retrieve origin row for a relationship feature with OBJECTID '226' from table/feature class 'ARSiteVision_Images'”I’m not sure what I missed here, I followed the instruction in this link but with no luck. I attached the FME Workbench if this is could be helpful. Ps: I have only 224 images so I would have 224 points so I’m not sure from where 226 come! Thanks,Rawan
